The demolition of the Borden Building chimney has been delayed, if only for a few hours.
The contractor, for reasons that have not been made clear, did not "mobilize" until after 9 a.m., and is now expected to be on the scene until 10:30. The chimney now is expected to fall about 12:30 p.m.
Meanwhile, downtown business is booming.
It's sort of like a NASA space shuttle launch delay.
